Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the amendment to the Schedule under Section 38 of the Act does not require adherence to the procedural requirements outlined in Sections 5 and 6. The Court clarified that while Sections 5 and 6 mandate public objections for declaring a notified market area, Section 38 allows for amendments to the Schedule without such procedural constraints. Consequently, the amendment was deemed valid, and the market committee was entitled to levy fees based on the amended Schedule.
